Of course, Alabama won a few national championships before the AP poll was founded. And, in my opinion, how you finish is more important than how many weeks you spent at No. 1 (see: Southern Cal, 2005). Still, that's not a knock on Georgia. Just sayin'.

I agree with Newspaper Hack. Being ranked No. 1 during the season (particularly in September) is reflective of perception far more than reality. Virginia was ranked No. 1 during the 1990 regular season, for crying out loud. If that counts, what doesn't count?

Beyond that, I noticed that Florida had spent a fair number of weeks ranked No. 1, but that is all recent history; the Gators spent a week at No. 1 for the first time in 1985 and their regular presence in the top spot only came about in the mid-1990s. That doesn't mean U.F. wasn't good in Steve Spurrier's heyday---they were---but U.F. has far less overall tradition than some schools with fewer weeks at No. 1.

but......gt has two more champs. than uga...and that's all the world remembers!!!haha eat it up!in fact i'd wouldn't be telling anyone that i'd been on top 14 more times than someone else and had two less champs!!!! how pitifull!

The 1951 and 1952 GT national titles are a joke. UT was the winner in virtually every recognized poll of 1951. In 1952, Michigan State was recognized by 12 polls. GT was again awarded a title both years by the Berryman site listed above. In other words, some professor's research project turned home page named GT as champ along with other obscure secret societies.

They build their tradition off that? LOL!

The closest thing to a legit national title that GT has gotten was 1990, and they demanded a great deal of respect for their teams in '28 and '17. But they're hardly undisputed.

UGA flies banners for 2 titles. Both are consensus. And both awarded by people who actually watched them play.

Of course computers are going to love GT. That's like saying does a son love his father?

Hey Stupid bug!,Why don't you go out and get a stamp made that said "owned" by UGA on it. Then stamp it to your forehead (which in your case is your backside). That's about the extent of GT doing anything getting owned.
